Runner duck questions

[BabyGotQuack]

I’ve had ducks for a long time but have never had runner ducks. I’m looking at ordering some from metzer, they have black, blue, chocolate, silver & fawn and white.

My first question is do any of those mentioned runner males have green heads? I’m having a hard time finding this answer.

Second question are runner ducks as good of layers as I’ve heard?

The list you gave are the colors of the runners they sell. I don't think any of those would have a green head, but there are colors that would. Sorry I don't know the name of the colors that would.

I have a male black runner and he has a green almost iridescent head and body that shines when the sun hits him. But otherwise he looks black. I’m not sure about female runners laying eggs but from what I’ve read they are good layers. I have a silver, black and blue runner all male. They are very handsome!

Do you have any photos of these handsome boys??

It might be just the ones called trout color that had the green heads like mallards .
